hello



Sending everyone a warm, springy hello!  We could use some nice spring weather around here.  I am ready for more sunshine and less snow.  The sun did actually shine a little today finally, but it was still too cold to really enjoy it. 
Anyway, I have a CAS (clean and simple) card to share today.  I love this color combo (hawaiian shores, summer sunrise, white, and black).  It just says warm and sunny, doesn't it?  I started by stamping my sentiment with Outlines Alphabet and coloring the letters with copic markers.  Then, I cut my black bitty dot patterned paper with the small scalloped die and a piece of hawaiian shores cardstock with the rick rack die.  I die cut a hawaiian shores felt flower and stitched a black bitty dot paper circle in the center.  Last, I rounded the corners on my white cardstock and adhered all my pieces.

Have a fabulous day!  I am working on my Papertrey release projects today and can't wait to share what I've been creating!
Niki

Love how crisp, clean and colorful this one is. I may have to break down and buy that rick rack die this month. So many wonderful things, so little money. Am looking forward to your projects for this months release.

I love your card! It is so cheerful looking. I guess I'm going to have to add Outlines Alphabet stamp set to my list of 'must haves'. I just love how you colored it in.
